Negotiation strong point was the seller had been burned by renters and needed to walk away- including leaving all the left trash and furniture How did you finance this deal?

 Unpermitted structures if burned cannot be rebuilt, insurance doesn't cover.

It sounds like you're looking for a 'private mortgage insurance' or MIP type policy, which if so I don't believe there is any equivalent in the SF space.If you're the seller and the buyer has a homeowner's policy on the property that protects you if the property burns down or is damaged.

And believe me, those people can hide behind all the LLC's they want, but they cannot hide their name and face from the people that worked with them in the past and got burned. 

What happens to your plan if you are injured or burn out?

(OK, so it's silly on a few levels, but then again...)Sure, there's plenty of fat on those bones any one of us *could* carve off. 

We have tankless in our vacation home and it takes FOREVER to heat up unless we increase the heat and then possibly risk someone burning themselves. 

On the fat edge/face of the floor joist?

I'm glad you're running the numbers because some out of state investors don't and you can get burned when you arent working with an investor agent.I'll keep it short but as you're seeing it's difficult to find a reasonable SFR, turnkey and cash flow as an LTR.
